5000 pieces in 12 weeks – Yes we do!
summary
Claims a delivered run of 5000 units in 12 weeks by adapting existing hardware platforms, sourcing available components fast, and running certification, test engineering and production ramp in parallel. Uses a pre-developed LoRaWAN platform, custom firmware and housing changes (including DIN-rail mounting) to meet cold-chain specs: operates at -20°C with expected battery-life tradeoffs and optional external sensor. Outcome: higher unit cost than cheap imports but much faster rollout and fewer configuration headaches for the customer.
